A few firsts

Not only did Ila go to her first drive in Movie on Monday night (Slither), but she also has had a few other "firsts". She swang in her new swing. She loves it when she's in the "quiet alert" stage. Just look at her eyes. Also, we put her in her first dress, as she is going to a party this afternoon.

Joel and I went down to the garden a few days ago, lots of the seeds I planted before Ila was born are coming up -- at least the peas and beets are. The carrots and lettuce have not yet sprouted. I fear earwigs may be to blame, so I'm going to go down and trap them. Good trap for earwigs is a milk container with water and some fragrant oil (peanut or olive). The earwigs like the smell of the oil, but once they get in the oil and water mixture they can't get out. Hopefully I can trap a lot. But that will have to wait til tomorrow. So many diapers, so little time...
